  1. Future Growth? on Talking With Debian's Branden Robinson · · Score: -1, Troll

    Not to sound like a troll... but why plan for "future growth" if the markets and stastics show you aren't going to grow.

  2. Wow, Dell! on PCWorld Dubs Firefox Best Product of 2005 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm very surprised to sell Dell listed so many times. I mean, Firefox, Apple, Palm and a lot of the other top 10 were very predictable, but I'd never have guessed Dell. Poor Microsoft didn't even crack the top 100...

  3. It's on Slashdot on Earliest Bird Had Feet Like Dinosaur · · Score: 1

    Well, I saw it on /. so it must be true ;)

  4. wiki style? on Merriam-Webster Launches Open Dictionary · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, but does it contain internet slang? Now that would be useful - the average MSN conversation my sister has contains atleast 30 words I don't recognize and I'm only 21 :P

  5. Bid Update? on Apache 2.2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    OK, I'll admit, the added feature list seems impressive, and I'm drooling a bit... but for some reason (I'm honestly not really sure why) I don't get the feeling that this is a very significant update! I'll find out tomorrow when I test it myself :)

  6. Is this is a big deal? on Security Flaws Allow Wiretaps to be Evaded · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How serious is this though - I mean, if I knew my line was tapped instead of working on getting it untapped I'd simply work on getting a second line!

  7. Re:FP: What a great idea! on FCC Report Supports a la Carte TV Pricing · · Score: 0

    this won't ever happen... ... until a small company starts doing it to gain market share, and it will become so popular that everyone will have to start doing it!

  8. Is mainstream good? on Profitmon Catches The Dollars · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The more mainstream anime becomes, the worst it will get. I like anime because it often has much different story lines then traditional North American movies & cartoons.

  9. No Slashvertisement? on Air Guitar That Actually Plays! · · Score: 0, Troll

    I didn't think this story would be posted until there was a link with the story that had ads selling the product!

  10. Hard Drive Speed? on Notebook Hard Drive Roundup · · Score: 1

    You mean my 7200 RPM disk isn't necessarily the best around for gaming :(

  11. This is acceptable on Dutch Court Orders Lycos to Reveal Client · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Honestly, I'm happy about this verdict - how is the internet different from any other form of communication, you are responsible for what you say period. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't like the idea of "the big boys" telling others who I really am... but in some situations I believe it is warranted. If you owned a company that someone slandered repeatively online how would you feel?

  12. Ug on Libranet On The Rocks · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    All good things must end... like sex... and puppy doggs

  13. Version 1.5 on Firefox Plans Mass Marketing Drive · · Score: -1, Troll

    I have strongly believed for almost a year now that version 1.5 will be a MAJOR milestone! With all their added feature I really feel they will begin taking some significant market share.

  14. Interesting Fact on Advances in New Western Digital Drives · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A little known fact about the WD2500KS is that it has a sister WD2800KS due out in 4 months with double the storage and 35% higher performance. Of course the cost isgoing to be MUCH higher too

  15. Fair enough on No Porn for You, iPod · · Score: 0, Troll

    As much as I hate to see the potential content of the video iPod decreased - I really think that most people believe not allowing porn on the video iPods is a good thing!

  16. Re:Powerpoint?? on Red Hat CEO Decries Open Source Pretenders · · Score: 1

    Depends on your priorities I guess. I must admit, for my job Powerpoint is important (and no I can't switch, because I don't make my own slides).

  17. Re:Viewable with My Telescope? on New Dust Storm on Mars Viewable with Telescopes · · Score: 1

    I own a Meade 125-ETX and it is nothing to get excited about IMO

  18. Does programmer count? on Worst Jobs in Science: Year Three · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Can I nominate my job as a computer programmer? Technically computer science is a form of science.

  19. Hah on Level 3 and Cogent Reach Agreement on Peering · · Score: 1

    November 9th?

    *waits nerviously for the November 9th press release*

  20. Ethics on ESA Venus Mission Delayed · · Score: -1, Troll

    It is good to see that they are spending the coin to do things ethically. Now if only Micro$oft would pay attention.

  21. It just won't be the same! on Homer Becomes Omar · · Score: 1

    The full humor of the Simpsons will never be able to be portrayed properly in another language. Alot of the jokes, subtle references, spoofs, and even the type of humor itself is specifically designed for a Western audience.

  22. DUPE! on Why Talk About Internet Governance? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    5th time in two weeks

  23. Power Consumption on Intel Dual Core Xeon Benchmarked · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is the 21st century in North America, since when do we care how much power a CPU uses. *Drives away in Hummer*

  24. WOW!!! on Flexible Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    This is a HUGE accomplishment!!! 100 DPI is heads above the rest. Look out eBooks ;)

  25. It will happen! on Office + OpenDocument, Never Say Never · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I honestly believe that over the next 10 years Microsoft will embrace the open standard. They will find way to still make money off it however :P
